First world problems.
This is why I want to try living in a 2nd world country like Thailand or Vietnam. Get a me a Vietnam broad who jumps into my arms because I brought home some fish and berries
I swear people in 2nd and 3rd world countries are happier.

- People are working more, the pandemic bounce back has had everybody working more, not less. And WFH people are getting no separation from work life and home life
- A generation who grew up broke is now grown and broke. All these stats about how millennials were worse off than their boomer parents were fine when the average millennial was 27. Now it’s more like 35+ and they have kids, family, bills etc. Financial instability is one of the biggest day-to-day stressors.
- Social Media / Reality TV : self explanatory
- Internet access : Similar to the local news, if it bleeds it leads. Internet and online news in general is incentivized for clicks, and bad news is more interesting to people than good. With all this access, you can find 20+ social and economic injustices with a quick google. That shyt is a bummer

ban instagram
imagine what instagram, KUWTK, housewives of "rich dudes" etc would have done for the mental health of field-bound serfs during feudal times.
a direct line to observe the upper-feudal classes, who have everything that you don't.
fresh food, nice beds, medicine, swimming pools, holidays, boats, leisure, holidays etc.
there would have been mass depression followed by a revolution.
Ban Instagram, Twitter, tiktok, and dating apps.
No help to advance yourself either unless you're an immigrant.

I've dealt with depression for over 15 years and it's started from a traumatic experience where I got jumped by 5 people on the way to a college party and was nearly killed.
Damn, sorry to hear that. Have you tried talking to a therapist? They may not be able to fix the "issue" but they can provide methods for coping that can help alleviate the pain.
you can finally get that car but head to social media and see a dude you went to school with a 2023 g class and suddenly comparison and you
went to nyc for the weekend post a few photos feeling good, then a dude you work with posts his trip to the maldives and you feeling
single and you see all your friends getting married having kids and you feel

Was just saying this today since The three day weekend makes today a pseudo Sunday. really shows you just how LITTLE free time you have to yourself.
Like I actually had two full days to chill with the homies and bullshyt and I’m treating Monday like a Sunday by cleaning cooking and planning my week centered around work.
We need a 4 day work week because Saturday feels like my only free day to do as I please.

Take me back to those hunter-gatherer days when I could live off the land with my fellow tribesmen…
Knowing nothing but kinfolk and the laws of nature from womb to tomb…
It might be short and brutal, but at the very least I would have had a genuine sense of purpose and belonging, a real feeling of community and camaraderie, an innocent perception of equality and shared struggle…

"Be not of this world"
The more detached from this world and the things of it...the happier you'll be.
Everything in this world is PURPOSELY DESIGNED to inject demonic spirits inside of you (alcohol, GMO weed, drugs, porn, sex itself, materialism, media/music, etc).
Depression is a SPIRIT and the less you care about the things that's put on a pedestal and popularized in this world.....the better you'll be able to avoid the emptiness that comes with it.
The older I get, the more detached from this world I'm becoming and the more peaceful and happy I'm becoming also. I couldn't care less about the latest fashions, owning the latest model cars, fancy houses, drip , etc.
It's almost like I'm an outsider observing this world.

Amen to that. I recently found a stick on the road, looks like some good wood. And I’m going to turn that into a flute soon enough, and I really thought about the duality of the complexity of making an instrument yet how easy it was to get that random piece to make it. Life is much better when you’re doing things vs having everything done for you like all the things you listed.
So many people need someone else to play a sport for them, make a song, cook a dish, make some clothes etc, they don’t realize if they made some of those things themselves they’d more clearly understand Yah put us here to interact and improve the earth, but that requires perpetual motion (and not infinite growth either but rather constant completion)
